The Friendly Households program invites participating Quaker households to live more lightly on the earth and to embrace opportunities for positive societal change toward sustainability.

What: A Meeting for Planning and Action. Kicking off with opening speaker Steve Chase (bio below) and followed by reflection groups on key content areas (food, water, energy, finance, etc.) the Forum is the official launch of the Friendly Households Program. It is an opportunity to explore and evolve the program while building skills and inspiration.

Where: Friends Center, Rufus Jones Room

If you would like to participate and to bring your experience to the Friendly Households mix, please contact Michael Gagne, Eco-Justice Organizer: mgagne@pym.org  / (215) 241-7216.

Steve also founded the Master’s program in Environmental Advocacy and Organizing at Antioch University. Full bio here.
